Best buy by Consumer Reports but quality disappointing. After only a couple of months there's space between the blade and handle of a couple of the knives. Would not order again.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good value, but don't mistake it for a high end knife set, March 4, 2006

This set is a steal at under $50US and they cut very well and got great remarks in consumer reports. However, they certainly arn't a Henckels and feel light in the hand.

If you want a basic kitchen set, this is the way to go. If you appreciate finer things, buy Henckels or Wüsthof

Excellent razor sharp knife set. This set is not drop forged, but is very well made and holds a razor edge with just a little sharpening once in a while. I bought this set because it was highly recommended by Consumer Reports Magazine, and I was not dissapointed in its performance. I gave it four stars because it is not drop forged and the balance is not great, but I still highly recommended it.
